Don't know why that shows up sideways, I tried it twice, oh well.

So an update. I went to a track rental today, weather was warm, but it was mostly cloudy with a constant 15 to 20 mph wind. I found out quickly they only prepped up to the 1/8. Car started wagging its tail at 150 or so, and I let out of it on all three passes. I was able to stay in it longer on...

Thanks! Doing more tomorrow. Went to the track today for the last time this year.

Got both bottom sections hung after some drama. I set the sheet up against the wall and of course the concrete is wavy which caused the bottom edge to bend out a bit and I trimmed it off with a blade later on. The big deal was I wanted to use one sheet to cover the 6x6 instead of cutting a thin...

Wilkommen von Ohio!

Yesterday evening, my friends and a neighbor came over and we got the top of the walls hung. Looks really good. I went out today and sanded the corner and then spread the finish coat on. It took some finesse, but I got it pretty good. Getting better with each seam! Going back out to hang...

You can see to the left of that we started the next section of wall and got it inserted and ready for mud. We had to do 2 sections and I gapped it so we could cover the 6x6 with one sheet of drywall and a stud would be there for the edge on the wall, it offsets it all about 6.5".

It's time for an update. We had some fairly good weather the past couple weeks up til Sunday, so I got out and sanded, then put the final coat of mud on the seems up top. I also put the thick mud in the corner with tape, which works great. I am lucky I have a friend who was a former student that...

Cool, mine is similar, but the rods go front to rear on the funny car part. I have a little handle I push forward to drop my net out of the way. Can't remember who I got it from. Car looks great. I bet you're eager to make a pass in it.

How does that work?

Got it inside and found my fuel leak. It was not the seal like I assumed. It was the epoxy, looks like the fuel dissolved it, not sure what's going on with that, as I've used epoxy lots of times to seal fuel wires, so I guess for this one, I need to use some fuel tank specific epoxy.

My Bevedere II has the same wheel and hubcap combo currently. I have the proper wheels and hubcaps to go on it, just no reason to do it when the tires are like new that are on it and they're 15". Really like your car and live the black with those side moldings. These cars have really grown on...

Got mine, thanks!

Happy Birthday!

I'm having my attic blown in by a friend's company. I'm not walking those beams in the dark carrying that huge hose. It's not pitch black, but low enough light to add to the danger.

Ok, I have to comment on this thread, with the completely opposite point of view. Sorry Mark, didn't mean to single you out. I understand I have lived my life much differently than the majority of people on this board and have very, very few regrets. I was on one of my road trips with my close...

Wait, it doesnt even run? No guarantee all the parts are there? More like 35k or so, depending on what is missing when you take inventory. Guys think you just bolt this crap together and boom, you've got a complete hemi car running and driving, phffft, after 15k in machine work and all the...

Gotta watch that pooping when backing into the garage. Lol.

Funny, I did similar. Anytime I got laid off, I was back at my shop doing performance work and tuning cars on my dyno. A speed shop is fun, but no money and dealing with the public made it not worth it unless there was nothing else on the table. And you're right, it filled in the gaps of my...

That sucks to hear for you OP. I know how that feels. Just remember it's not personal even tho it feels that way right now. I am older, 68, and I was 62 when I took this job. I look much younger than I am, which helped, but the point I'm trying to make is, it's never too late to snag that dream...
